APPLICATION
The GS920 is a stand alone gas detector for detcting methane
or LPG sensor (specify at order stage) with an integrated seismic
detector that will shut off off a gas valve in the event of seismic
activity making it an ideal sensor in areas prone to earthquakes.
With a built-in relay the GS920 can be used to shut off a gas valve
in the event of a leak, or operate remote sirens and beacons to alert
those nearby of a potential hazard.
OPERATION
As gas concentrations exceed 10%LEL the relay on the unit will
actuate into an alarm state. Using a built-in 3-axis accelerometer,
the GS920 will shut off a gas valve and halt the gas supply when
seismic activity reaches 6 on the Modified Mercalli scale (or 60
-70cm/s2).
Stopping the gas supply in a building at this time is a valuable, and
potentially life-saving, exercise. Ruptured pipework due to buildings
shifting can cause undetected leaks and an increased risk of
explosion.
A further relay on the unit is pre-set to actuate at 10% LEL of either
methane or LPG. This relay can break the electrical connection to a
gas valve, or make a connection to an external waring device such
as an audible alarm or flashing beacon.

BATTERY CONNECTION
It is possible to connect this unit to a 12V DC battery to perform two
functions:
Firstly, It can be used to power the unit itself for up to one hour in the
events of mains failure.
Secondly, the battery can power a remote 12V DC manual reset
solenoid valve or siren, over 300mA.

  • Page 2: Important Notes

    When doing the electrical connections, follow the drawing closely. Any use of the detector for purposes other than the intended one is considered improper and as a result of which Duomo (UK) therefore disclaims any responsibility for possible damages caused to people, animals or objects.
  • Page 3 Configuring the GS920 The GS920 has two DIP switches on the PCB.The left switch is used to activate the intrinsic safety option.The right switch is used to select a pulsed output to a connected gas valve. The GS920 can be configured to provide several modes of operation.The configurable parameters are:...

  • Page 5: Sensor Orientation

    Important Notes Always check the wiring before powering up the system. Do not test this sensor with anything other than Duomo test gas. Concentrations above this will damage the sensor and shorten sensor life. The installation of this gas sensor does not release the user from observing all the regulations concerning the characteristics of the installation and use of gas appliance, the ventalation of the protected environment and the removal of the products of combustion.

    This is a working document and will be updated as new troubleshooting and FAQs become apparent. If your issue is not listed here please call Duomo (UK) on 01905 797989 and inform us so we can list your issue and associated solution here.
  • Page 7 It is prudent to make electrical connection to the detector terminal plus when withdrawn and leave the plug off the detector so that the Duomo Engineer is the first to power up the unit on site. This allows wiring to be checked prior to commissioning and avoids damage due to incorrect connection.
